SayNo, wishful opinions do not represent actual facts. Your Ron Paul mouthpiece presenting his opinions has no basis in the real world. There is nothing to indicate that the delegate counts your video clip presents are based on anything but fevered, wishful fantasy.

Why is it that he's not even showing on the radar of national polling, then, even when his name is included in the possibilities? I have been able to find no recent poll that puts Paul above 6%, let alone 50%.

Okay, fine. Whatever. But that probably is the reason we're naming our kids Joseph, instead of Johannes, or Giuseppe. It's an attempt to sound more non-Muslim in origin. Big deal. Mitt actually claimed that Mitt was his "real name." Good luck with that, Willard.

On the record, I want to offer a $10,000 bet to you, SayNo, that Ron Paul will not get the Republican nomination, and furthermore that, if he doesn't and decides to run as an independent, he will not get over 10% of the popular vote.

Barry is a shortened, familiar version of his real name, just like Dave is a shortened, familiar version of David and Jenny is a shortened, familiar version of Jennifer. In no way, in no other reference frame, is Mitt a shortened, familiar version of Willard.

Ah, memories... See, when it was just a nun and a ruler keeping kids in line, the parents weren't (a) making excuses for Little Johnny-- they were trusting the judgment of the educator to correctly evaluate Johnny's lousy behavior and the remedy for that behavior; (b) going to let Little Johnny slide at home, either-- they were gonna find out why Johnny was acting like such a little brat and immediately correcting it, at least at home; and (c) questioning the teacher's methods or authority as in loco parentis-- if Sister Measurata was strict, she was strict, and Johnny would get a warning-- ONE warning-- that he'd better not misbehave, because if he did, Sister Measurata would make him pay, and Mom and Dad were gonna back the good Sister up. Fear is a heckuva motivator for good performance in learning.

Do you seriously think that the school district is going to let the church bring the kids to bible study on head count day? Wow, are you out of touch with how things work in real schools. Mind you, this is a voluntary (that is, not mandatory), parental-approval activity that only takes place for an hour or two, and only four times a year, not daily. And you're not paying for it. Once again, do you resent letting Jewish kids off for Rosh Hashonah? Because that's exactly how much time the kids who participate in this activity are "off school." And FYI, these same kids are picked up and dropped off from school to participate in this activity by a church bus, that is NOT paid through taxpayer money.

So, in other words, you have a problem with Jewish kids getting Rosh Hashonah off, too, right? And if you read the original article, no taxpayer funds were used to transport the kids off the campus, either.
